One Hardy Dude


One of the most beautiful and prolific flowers in our garden each summer is the Shasta Daisy. They begin to bloom in early July and continue into late fall. Frequently in October when I clean out the garden, there will still be a couple of small blooms surviving.

This hardy guy actually saw service as the “Christmas flower” until finally covered by the multiple snows we received the week before Christmas.


Alas, even this hardy individual finally succumbed to the harsh winds and the crush of the pressing snow and ice.

I love survival and resilience stories ... even from flowers!
